Teens Jailed for King’s Cross County‑Lines Killing After Selfies and CCTV Expose Attack

Digital evidence — CCTV, phone data, selfies — tied the trio to a county‑lines punishment attack, prosecutors said.

Overview

  • At the Old Bailey on January 5, Jaidee Bingham, 18, was sentenced to life with a 16‑year minimum for murdering 51‑year‑old Anthony Marks.
  • Co‑defendants Eymaiyah Lee Bradshaw‑McKoy, 18, and Mia Campos‑Jorge, 19, received manslaughter sentences of 47 months and 42 months, respectively.
  • Marks was attacked near King’s Cross around 5:25am on August 10, 2024, struck with car trim, chased, stamped on and hit over the head with a gin bottle; he died in hospital on September 14, 2024.
  • CCTV audio captured shouts during the assault, and later footage showed the teenagers celebrating in a car, with images and messages on their phones helping detectives map their movements.
  • Police described the killing as a county‑lines retribution after a robbery of one runner, while the prosecution noted missed medical opportunities during Marks’s later custody but said the assault caused his death.
